THE MAY ASSIHE,.SART.
Exercises in the Ch,Tches in Lower
Jersey City.


The May walk of the Sunday Schools in
lower Jersey City was to have been taken
last Thursday. But thunder storm that
broke upon the town just at the time for
assembling put an end to that part of the
sport. The children did not have to walk
three or four miles in broiling hot sun
for little cake and ice cream, but they
were kept to their churches and got the
cream and cake without marching for
them. The exercises in which they took
part were interesting, and many friends of
the pupils and of the churches Witnessed
them. Birds, nestled amid profuse decora-
tons, made the air of the Tabernacle
resonant with song and gladness, and lent
an inexpressible charm to the assemblage.

with music by Prof. Wallace, and led by
G. w. Clerihew. The children who helped
